Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder was originally defined in the literature on Language Disorder in 1983, by Rapin and Allen, although at that time it was classified as a syndrome. They referred to a group of children who presented with mild autistic features and specific semantic pragmatic language problems.

Hyperlexia is a similar but not the same disorder.
